Happy Thanksgiving - Only One Day a Year?? Por Que?? Is it not strange that we have a custom here in Canada (and the United States but a different date) where our government has given us a statutory holiday so that we can, but 1 day a year, GIVE THANKS! So, let me see, on Monday, which is Thanksgiving, I am to give thanks on that one day for all things from the preceding year! I don't know about you, but for me to remember every last thing that happened in the last 365 days that a person would consider "good" and a reason to say "thanks" for - is nearly impossible! Heck, I have days when I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.... So, let me see, as best I can recall perhaps for just this past week alone, I do indeed give thanks for: 1. a perfectly healthy body 2. the ability to see, smell, hear, feel 3. the ability to read, speak, write (yes even my very limited Spanish) 4. the ability to operate a computer including typing of these words 5. the ability to understand when someone speaks with me 6. the ability to reason and be logical 7. my family 8. my friends - near and far 9. for having known true love just once in my life 10. and last...for YHWH's GREAT LOVE that has poured out all of the above and so much more in my life and for HIS mercies that are indeed new every morning. For item 10 alone - there is reason for each and every one of us to give thanks every day that we are blessed with Life itself!!

Hello Xavi, Thank you for reading and commenting. What you say is what we should all be doing, that is giving thanks for everything - good and bad. In fact we are told in the Holy Book (Bible/Biblia/Torah)to "give thanks in all things." Those would seem hard words to understand and even harder to perform - but if you believe that all of your life is indeed in the hands of a Loving Father, then there is a trust that flows from that, knowing that nothing comes your way without His consent - and as the Word also tells us, His Ways are not man's ways. That is what is meant when one says he or she lives in faith; when despite all hell breaking lose all around us, we can say because we know that we know, "all is well with my soul!"
